Henry's class is having a luau today.
And other than fruit kabobs or a roasted pig, I had no idea what kind of snack to take.
So I made Jello Island:)
I mixed up three big boxes of Blue Berry Jello in a clear bowl. About halfway through the refrigeration time, pull the bowl out and load it up with gummy fish and sharks.
When the Jello is completely set, pull it out to decorate. I crumbled up vanilla Oreos in a food processor and sprinkled them onto part of the Jello to make the island. Then I rolled out a few Starburst to make beach towels and added a few sunbathing Teddy Grahams.
To make the palm trees, I used a few Pirouette cookies and some green fruit slices. I sliced the fruit slicing thinly, and then attached them to the top of the Pirouette with the help of a few toothpicks.
This was really easy to do, and I may try it again this summer and actually let the boys helps me when we have more time!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I think I need a fruity drink with an umbrella in it to celebrate the weekend almost being here:)

Adorable! I did something similar to this when I was in Home Ec in High School. Sooo cute, I'm sure the kids will LOVE it!!! As for your drink, my fav is... Malibu Rum, Pineapple Juice & Cranberry Juice. Although I never get it because I am usually pregnant or nursing... maybe in a few months LOL : )
Now how in the world did you think of that??? I'm so impressed by you, Kelli, really!!
SOOOOOOOOO crafty you are!!
Tonight is truth time...I will start on the candi sushi and cupcakes for the party!! wish me luck :)
What a yummy and cute idea. I love it. That would be so fun for a Beach party. Thanks for always sharing your cute ideas,
Wow- very creative!! I love it!
I'm not even going to say that you're creative again :) but I love that!
His teacher must love you! Great job as usual. :)
That is so cool! You rock, girl! I'm going to have to surprise my son with that!
Girl...I have no words for how flipping cute that is! LOVE IT! Once again I am stealing this adorable idea :)
SO cute. love it. we had a mom bring in something like that for daycare, but she put in plastic fish and jelly worms in the jello, and didn't have the cute island. totally makes me crave jello now though. lol.
You are simply one of THE most creative people I know!!!
This is so cute! I love the fish in the bowl, how did they hold up to being in the fridge though?
What a fun spin on the tropical theme. :)
I bet the kids got a kick out of that! Great idea.
My jaw is on the floor! I made almost the exact "cake" last summer! Great minds think alike! But I think yours turned out much better. I put gummy sharks in the "water" and they floated belly up and looked like squishy bloated dead fish :( Pretty gross, but my 4,2 and 1 year old didn't care. They liked dead fish
very cool! love the pictures...new to your blog...loving it!
So CUTE! LOVE the palm trees...I too need a girly drink now!
My sons class is having a luau on June 8th...I am incharge of dessert...guess what I am going to make! Thanks girl for the great idea!!!

Really, where do you come up with this stuff :) So cute and FUN! That is so creative! the sunbathing bears are so funny :) I know the kids would love to help with this!
You do the cutest projects - I LOVE this!! I really need to try to start doing more things like this for my guys!!
Oh my goodness how cool. The kids must love you:)
Oh my gosh, this is so cute! I may have to try this for my own birthday! I'm thinking of doing a laua bbq. I wonder if I can get away with making it from chocolate pudding instead of jello. If you're a fan of the tv show LOST, this would have been perfect for a LOST party too!
That's adorable.
Haha! I love this! Perfect for a summer pool party. :) I have given you the "Versatile Blog Award" because you truly are inspiring to me.
Blessings!
